Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my review copy.

It's very realistic compared to the comics I usually read and after finishing it, I am unsure if I like it. The colouring on the pages was pretty.

It's a creepy art style overall, which is also coupled with the quite realistic art style which looks more like fanart or a painting, leads to a chilling read as it feels very uncanny valley to me.

There's not many visual differences between the panels of the comic, so this makes it very easy to read and I would have liked some variation to the horizontal rectangle panels.

The plot is interesting and very character-driven, rather than plot, but we do get a huge cliffhanger at the end and I want to know what happens next.
